Last night’s performance in Athens! 🇬🇷

Hi from Athens 💙🦇🇬🇷 I guess I’ve -made it-?! Walked into a shop in Psyrri and was quite surprised to see my face looking back at me 😄 #darkwave #postpunk #bandlife #tourlife #ontour #athens

I really miss my pup Mary when we travel, so I like photographing the dogs I get to meet on tour. This is Tommy from Bucharest 🇷🇴❤️🐶

Arrived in Bucharest 🇷🇴 We are 9,169km from home! A day off to get acclimated, so we checked out the National Museum of Art 🖼️ Especially cool to see the Brueghel pieces in the collection ❤️ @actorstheband.bsky.social #tourlife #ontour #postpunk #darkwave #brueghel

Oh yes, I am the over prepared cable friend too ☺️

Yesss always headphones!

Packing for a month+ in Europe today 🧳 A good hoodie is one of my tour must-haves. Warm, layer-able, a Jedi hood for sleepy times or noise cancellation, a pocket for my cold hands. What’s in your bag to make you feel comfy on a long trip?

I love my American friends, and send support for the collective anxiety you're experiencing right now 💙

Owning it! 🤩

Keep going friend 🖤

On Insta today, the US flag is my top suggested emoji for commenting on posts. That's pretty... weird (I'm Canadian). And fifth suggested is the trash icon you'd see in an airport, so that's kinda funny by unexpected proximity 😆 Btw, I've never used either of these!

Thrifted this vintage Adidas Firebird jacket recently and it’s giving total 1980s Olympics gymnastics energy. ACTORS Tour starts in 2 days, first stop Bucharest ❤️💪💙

Hah aww thank you ❤️

Hi! Excited for the London show. Nothing on the books yet, but hopefully soon 💙

Yes! Let's have fun on the internet again ❤️

Yep. I noticed the sponsored, and suggested posts getting more plentiful and very weird in the last couple months, especially in my explore feed which used to be pretty decent for browsing and inspiration. Super gross, unhinged, violent stuff, no thanksss

I admire the work of #bauhaus #depechemode #jgballard #joandidion #davidlynch #helmutnewton #francisbacon #gerhardrichter. I enjoy #postpunk #shoegaze, heavy music like #godflesh #swans. I love animals 💙 My pup is Mary 🐕 and my cats are Frank, Bob, and Dale (after Lynch's characters, of course) 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

Intro time! Hi 🦋 I’m Shannon 💙 I play synth in ACTORS, write songs in LEATHERS. I'm a multi-disciplined visual artist; I went to college for photography pre-digital, and I also paint and tattoo in my hometown Vancouver. I write about band and tour life on my Substack www.daydreamtrash.com Cont...

Yes! 💯

Btw Jason / ACTORS is here:
@jasoncorbett.bsky.social

They’re hard for us to leave because of our audiences built there but I’m hoping people will come here or subscribe to Substack to keep in touch.

After being on Instagram and Facebook since their release my apps feel so dated n’ dusty. My algos are clogged with weird shit, content, and ads that don’t make sense and waste my time. This will be a welcome social media reset, I think 🦋

It’s 3am, why are you awake? 🙃

Ok Mary, let’s go! The goodest girl. Her top priority is finding a fallen tree branch, and carrying it all the way home to make people laugh and smile 🐕🖤

Time for walkies, should I wake her?
